</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Cupertino, California, January 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/</B> -- Ambow
Education Holding Ltd. (&quot;Ambow&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (NYSE American: AMBO) today announced that The New England Commission
of Higher Education (NECHE) has informed Bay State College (Boston, Mass.) of its intent to withdraw Bay State College&rsquo;s accreditation
as of August 30, 2023. The College&rsquo;s Board of Trustees has voted to appeal the decision.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">NECHE&rsquo;s determination was based on the Commission&rsquo;s opinion
that the College could not come into compliance with Institutional Resources (Accreditation Standard 7) within three years. The decision
has no bearing on the quality of the Bay State&rsquo;s educational programs or outcomes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Since Ambow&rsquo;s acquisition of the College at the end of 2017,
the Company has invested multiple millions of dollars in accordance with its 3-5 year turn-around plan for the College. The College&rsquo;s
leadership team believes the school is turning the corner. In particular, new enrollments increased dramatically for the Spring semester,
the highest in four years. The College&rsquo;s board believes there are solid grounds for the appeal and is making every effort to ensure
students and faculty are supported during this time.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">If such appeal is unsuccessful, based on Ambow&rsquo;s best estimates
at this time, the Company anticipates the annualized impact to its topline will be approximately $6 million with no negative impact on
its bottom line.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Regardless of the appeal status, the College will remain open through
August 2023. Students on track to graduate and receive degrees in May or August of this year will not be affected. Nursing graduates for
May and August 2023 will remain eligible to take the NCLEX and become licensed registered nurses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The College is working diligently to ensure a seamless transition for
students and faculty by facilitating transfers to other institutions, in the event the that the appeal is denied.</P>
